Excitement
Tennis is known as an extremely quiet sport ... we want loudness, we want action!
The Servers has been reborn as the Legacy @ Wanderers Servers and they are part of the reason why the 2024 Ctrack Showdown will be hosted at The Wanderers Country Club, home to Legacy Tennis Academy. Unfortunately the team has not yet moved from the 4th position in 2 events … what will this year bring for them?
The Showdown Rockets are all about impact—high velocity serves, baseline missiles, and aggressive energy that leaves their opponents reeling. They don’t wait for the game to come to them—they take it. Expect highlight reels, momentum shifts, and big personalities.
The African Giants represent more than a team—they represent a movement. Built on raw talent and forged through resilience, this squad brings together the continent’s brightest rising stars to challenge tradition and disrupt the court. Every point they win is a roar, every match a message.
The Axnosis Badgers aren’t here to entertain—they’re here to dominate. Known for their clinical execution and ice-cold composure, this squad plays the long game, wearing down opponents with precision and power. With some of the smartest tacticians in the game, don’t mistake their silence for weakness—they strike when it matters most.
The DRAFT
🎾 The Showdown 2025 Draft
It starts here.
Before the lights, before the fans, before the points—comes the Draft. This is where legends are discovered, and futures are forged. The 2025 edition of The Showdown takes place on August 1–2, but your journey starts now.
📅 Draft Window
Opens: Saturday 14 June
Closes: Saturday 5 July
You have 3 weeks to make your mark. During this period, team owners will scout, shortlist, and select players to represent their teams. Once the draft closes, selections are locked. No second chances.
🔥 How the Draft Works
Four teams.
Each team selects 4 men and 4 women to join their squad.
Selections are based on a mix of skill, attitude, team fit, and visibility.
Owners may scout from tournaments, past performances, or social media presence.
If you’re not seen, you won’t be picked.
